The next day, Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun went to the palace to see Ye Xingche.

"I've met the emperor brother."

"See Your Majesty."

"No need to be so polite. Where is Manman? Why don't you bring him here?" Ye Xingche asked.

"The child is too noisy and hard to control when he goes out," Ye Yanxing replied.

"Bring it to me on the day of the banquet." Ye Xingche nodded. He still wanted to see Ye Yanxing's child.

"Row."

"Is everything going well at the salt field? Is there anyone who needs help?" After asking the child, Ye Xingche was still more concerned about this.

"Everything is going well, no one needs help at the moment."

"You can ask me for help if you encounter any difficulties." Ye Xingche reminded them.

"Don't worry, when have I ever been polite to you?" Ye Yanxing said lazily.

Ye Xingche smiled slightly. Ye Yanxing would tell him anything new, but he never made any requests to him.

I just mentioned it to him at the beginning, asking him to pay more attention to the Marquis' Mansion and inform Yizhou if there was any problem, but I didn't say what I wanted him to do.

Ye Yanxing didn't need to say this. As long as Fu Ting's family didn't do anything outrageous, he would take care of them a little more based on his relationship with Fu Qianrun.

After chatting for a while, Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun left.

Ye Xingche was also very busy, so he didn't keep them for long. Everyone had returned, and there was plenty of time to reminisce about the past. Although he had a lot of things he wanted to ask Ye Yanxing, he was not in a hurry.

On the way back, they did not take a carriage, but strolled slowly around the city.

The imperial city has not changed much. The shops are still the same shops, the goods are still the same goods, and the people are still as bustling as before.

"Madam, let's go to a teahouse and sit down." Ye Yanxing suggested when passing by a teahouse.

"Yeah." Fu Qianrun looked up and saw the sign saying "Half Day Off".

Fu Qianrun had met the teahouse owner twice. He met the teahouse owner by chance when he and Yun Ji came to drink tea.

The three of them hit it off immediately. They chatted from noon until dark that day and even missed dinner time.

If the servant hadn't reminded them, they would probably have continued chatting.

At that time, someone asked him why it was named Half Day Leisure. He remembered that this was what the teahouse owner said.

Steal a little time to relax from busy life and enjoy a cup of tea.

This made Yunji call it a nice name.

They met again later, also in a teahouse, and the boss never showed up again after that.

Until he left the imperial city and went to Yizhou, Fu Qianrun never saw the teahouse owner again.

Now coming here again, he couldn't help but think of this friend who he was not very familiar with but with whom he got along very well.

"Welcome, gentlemen. Please go upstairs!" The waiter invited them to the private room upstairs.

The waiter didn't know Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun, but he was a discerning man and knew at a glance that the two were either rich or noble, so he led them directly to the private room on the second floor.

"Sir, this is our signature tea. What would you like to order?" The waiter listed a few tea names.

"Moonlight Bai, give me some more snacks." Fu Qianrun answered without thinking.

"Okay! Please wait a moment, it will be right there!" The waiter took the order and went out.

"Madam, do you come here often?" Ye Yanxing didn't say anything until the waiter left.

"Yeah, I used to come here often with Yunji." Fu Qianrun turned his head and looked out the window. There was also a teahouse opposite, and business was also good, but he liked this half-day teahouse more.

"Then the tea here must be delicious." Ye Yanxing smiled at Fu Qianrun.

He didn't know much about tea. Before the apocalypse, he was still young and didn't understand it. After the apocalypse, he didn't want to understand it anymore.

It’s tiring enough to be busy trying to survive every day, so who has the time to study how to taste tea?

"Well, it's okay." Fu Qianrun withdrew his gaze.

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in, placed the snacks on the table, and then went to the side to boil water for tea.

"You go down." After the charcoal fire was lit, Fu Qianrun said to the waiter.

"Sir?" The waiter was surprised. They didn't bring any servants with them. Did the guest want to cook for himself?

"Go out."

"promise."

The waiter obeyed the order and went out.

Fu Qianrun sat down at the tea table and began to boil water to make tea.

He used to cook by himself when he came here. Sometimes he cooked, and sometimes Yunji cooked.

This is part of their fun.

Ye Yanxing brought the snacks over, sat opposite Fu Qianrun, and watched him make tea.

The smooth and flowing movements were very pleasing to the eyes, and Ye Yanxing watched them intently.

It's not that he hasn't seen other people make tea before, but no one's movements were as elegant and natural as Fu Qianrun's.

After brewing the tea, Fu Qianrun poured two cups and pushed one in front of Ye Yanxing, "Your Highness, please have a taste."

Ye Yanxing took a sip, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, and the aroma filled the air, "Good tea!"

Fu Qianrun smiled but didn't respond.

In fact, the teahouse owner’s craftsmanship is even better. The best tea Fu Qianrun has ever tasted was brewed by the teahouse owner, which is why he can’t forget this place.

"Is Madam too busy on weekdays?"

"Why do you say that, my lord?"

"I've never seen you make tea in the palace."

Fu Qianrun was stunned for a moment. He had indeed deliberately kept himself busy at the beginning so that he would not fall into internal friction due to the undesirable current situation.

Later, I got used to it.

Now hearing Ye Yanxing's question, he couldn't help but start thinking that it seemed that after he came to the palace, he rarely did what he used to do.

What did he like to do in the past?

Riding horses and hunting, reciting poems and painting, chatting with friends, and imagining the future...

Now, it seems that Ye Yanxing is in charge and he has no ideas of his own.

In fact, the affairs of the palace were not that busy, but he was used to locking himself in the study.

Apart from Ye Yanxing and his subordinates, he had no intention of making any more friends.

Is it because Ye Yanxing didn't let him go?

No, Ye Yanxing gave him enough freedom, but he himself bound himself.

He regarded himself as a member of the harem, and Ye Yanxing asked him to manage the affairs inside and outside the palace, which made him feel that he was more than just a member of the harem.

He had never accepted the identity of princess calmly, because people in the palace did not call him princess, so he deceived himself into thinking that he was not the princess, but he could not escape this identity.

Even though he is now deeply attached to Ye Yan, his original thoughts have not changed and have always been restraining him.

He never really integrated into the life of the palace.

He was like an outsider in the palace, yet he was greedy for the warmth given by Ye Yanxing.

But, that is their home.

His and Ye Yanxing’s home.

It's not like the palace in the imperial city.

Yizhou had been their home from the very beginning.

He wanted to be himself again.

Fu Qianrun smiled with relief, "Well, I won't be so busy in the future."

"Madam can order me around if you're too busy." Ye Yanxing said softly. He might understand Fu Qianrun's thoughts a little.

"Okay, then Your Majesty, you can't be so idle in the future."

"It's my honor to be sent by Madam." Ye Yanxing smiled.

"Have some tea." Fu Qianrun filled his cup and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Hahahaha." Ye Yanxing couldn't help but laugh out loud. He liked to see Fu Qianrun being a little bit petty. He looked very lively at that time.
